376. Cherry Coke’s Debut (1985)

(I feel like you’ve seen this .gif. within 10 minutes of logging into Tumblr for the very first time )

Coming up in a few weeks, Coke will release Vanilla Orange Coke.  I doubt it will ever get as popular as Cherry Coke in 1985 however. I mean, remember how much we freaked out about Vanilla Coke in 2002 and now you can only find it at like, Target, one row, that’s it. Sickeningly sweet stuff.  

Cherry Coke first made a test debut at the 1982 Worlds Fair in Knoxville. Yes, that one from Simpsons.

Testing on Cherry Coke began three years ago, Mr. Dyson said, adding that it met with wide approval at the 1982 Knoxville World's Fair. He said Coca-Cola had been experimenting with vanilla, lemon and lime cola- based drinks, but that a cherry-flavored cola received the best acceptance in tests. 1

Just like with New Coke vs Coca-Cola Classic earlier that Summer, newspapers had taste tests:

Then there was the commercials.

I downloaded this commercial way back in 2006 and put it on my iPod.

This one reminds me of that short-lived SNL opening from about 1984, 1985. The last year that Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Mary Gross were on the show. 

Cameo did a commercial too!
